Do you Remember Bill ?

Tonbridge Technical School for Girls - New Tennis Courts

I was sent this photo by a former pupil of Tonbridge Technical School for Girls.  The school later became The Weald of Kent Grammar School.  This is what she wrote:-

'1959/60 at the Tech all the girls sat glued to the windows watching 'Bill' with the wheelbarrow.
They were creating the tennis courts a few months after we moved into the school.
He was quite dishy for those days and we all bought this photo!'

It seems that Bill's popularity became big business for the girl who was selling the photos even though 'Bill' is barely visible.  She really was quite an entrepeneur.  I wonder where she is now?

And, does anybody know the whereabouts of 60's heart throb Bill? We would love to know what became of him.

    Oh, my goodness! I was there at that time and do remember one of the workmen being quite dishy. There was also another young man called Norman, who was the Electrian's apprentice, he would get very embarrassed when they had to work in a classroom, as we all just sat gazing at him from the minute he walked in until he left. He would be about 68 now and Bill probably 70+. Happy days!
